At Kyra, we see more than just a resume, we see a person with professional and personal goals. We talk with candidates at length and gain as much information about their experience and background as possible to ensure the job opening is in line with their expertise and personality, prior to submitting a candidate for a position. We work with candidates on their interviewing skills and give resume assistance. Even if an applicant does not walk away with a job, we help candidates improve their marketability and interviewing skills.

Kyra takes extra time to get to know each consultant’s desires and career aspirations. We aren’t just trying to fill a position. We speak to the consultants multiple times to get a clear understanding of their professional goals and long term plans. After understanding these motivations, we fit them into the project that is right for them. We are very transparent if we think that a particular position won’t be a good fit for a potential employee. The last thing we want to do is put a consultant into a position that only suits our needs and the clients, but doesn’t take into account a potential employees’ desires.

Kyra offers a full benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and term life insurance, paid-time off and a 401K plan. Just like the tailored solutions we provide for our clients, we know that there is not a one-size-fits-all benefits package. We are flexible and can provide you only the benefits that you need.

Our clients are extremely satisfied with our consultants and the work they perform. By finding the right fit at the beginning, our employees enjoy high levels of satisfaction with their work.

Our goal is to meet with managers and learn about the challenges they face so that we can provide the right problem-solver and solution to any challenge. By learning about our clients' organization and culture, we also develop the soft skills that will be required to be successful with and add value to the client. We are building trusted partnerships, not transactional ones, and bringing to the table effective solutions, instead of simply supplying talent and walking away.

Kyra offers offsite meetings and gatherings to encourage networking and open more doors for our employees. Information is power. We keep our employees abreast of changes within the client and in the industry through onsite and offsite collaboration meetings. Knowing our employees’ goals also allows us to involve consultants where and when we can in Kyra projects and software development.

Kyra's culture and values are focused on talent development because the success we experience with our clients is directly related to employee growth. Through our inform, involve and innovate process we help employees get the most out of their technology careers.
